June 28- July 3: Start your Fourth of July fun on the right note in Bristol at the Concert Series at Independence Park. Featuring bands like Hey Nineteen, Sixwire, The United States Air Force Band and more, the concerts are a fun (and free!) way to spend your evenings leading up to the Fourth.

June 30: It isn’t summer in Providence without thefull lighting of WaterFire, with over eighty braziers aflame from Waterplace Park to Memorial/South Main Street Park and beautiful orchestral music filling the air.

July 2-3: Independence Day Fireworks at McCoy Stadium are great way to celebrate the Fourth a little early, with the PawSox’s annual show. The Sox will be taking on the Rochester Red Wings each night before an explosive, patriotic post-game display.

July 4: Celebrate the fourth with a time-honored Weekapaug Inn tradition of the Independence Day Clambake. Enjoy an impressive selection of clambake fare like steamed lobsters, BBQ classics, fresh seafood, s’mores under the stars, and live music.

July 4: Head down to the City by the Sea for the Newport 4th of July fireworks display over Newport Harbor, complete with a 21 gun salute. Other patriotic festivities include the Old Colony House tours, an annual reading of the Declaration of Independence, a pie eating contest, and more.
